FYI, we have a winner in the name Earthcoin's smallest denomination contest - he's been contacted to receive his EAC 700K.

The satoshi equivalent for EAC will be 'grain.' So 0.00000001 EAC = 1 Grain.

As you may know, a 'grain' was an ancient measurement, based on a grain of wheat, for denoting the smallest part of a troy ounce of gold and other systems for weighing gold.

I see your reason to invent the name for the smallest unit of Earthcoin. I see your reason not to use Satoshi for that. The only thing I can't understand is why you picked another coins name? Yes, this word is not registered tm or whatever, but it is already used by the Grain Coin longer than Earthcoin blockchain exist.

Yes, we know that. The community nominated that name, among others, and the community voted for this name; so we accepted it.

Graincoin is dead. Zero exchanges = market cap of 0. Not that it matter. Smiley

"Stop judging, so that you won't be judged"

Not judging anything and i really didn't mean to offend. I understand  that it might seem a bit harsh if you are holding a bag of grain, but it is still facts. Anyway, sorry for offending you.

It does not matter do I hold or not hold Grain. What you would say if I name 0.000001 of Grain, say, one Earthy? Would it have any impact on Earthcoin or not - nobody knows. The same we may say about consequences of naming of 0.00000001EAC as one grain - nobody knows. But, both things are unethical, IMO.

Unethical? Do you even know the meaning of the word? We did not name the smallest denomination of EAC a "Graincoin," we called it a "Grain" as in a "grain of sand." It is a common English word and was in existence long before Graincoin. By your reasoning we couldn't call the smallest denomination a "Blue," as in "blue sky," because there is a coin called Bluecoin, or we couldn't call it a "Green," as in "green leaves," because you can find "Greencoin" in the game Super Mario Cart....

Unlike some others that are apologizing, I couldn't care less if you were offended - take your inane nitpicking to some other thread.

#ignore

Well put. Didn't realize I was coming across as apologetic until you posted this, but you're right.

So, to clarify. Shit happens, I ain't sorry, and I PERSONALLY like the choice.
